Although some may consider Daredevil a second- or third-tier character—especially those familiar only with the 2003 film starring Ben Affleck—he boasts an extensive catalog of standout comics. In fact, Daredevil arguably has more exceptional stories than many other Marvel heroes. Like DC’s main Batman series, the Daredevil comic consistently attracts stellar creative teams, each bringing their own unique spin to everyone’s favorite blind vigilante lawyer.

Frank Miller’s noir take on the series is often regarded as one of the best runs in all of comics. Over the years, acclaimed creators like Brian Michael Bendis, Ed Brubaker, Kevin Smith, Mark Waid, Chip Zdarsky, Charles Soule, and Denny O’Neil have also left their mark on the character, building an impressive legacy within the medium.

The Daredevil series on Netflix drew inspiration from many of these eras, maintaining the moody, mature, and grounded tone that defines Daredevil’s world. The result was a critically acclaimed adaptation that resonated with fans. With the release of Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+, Marvel has the opportunity to deliver another standout iteration of the character.

Before diving into the new series, explore some of Daredevil’s most iconic stories.
